Console Carpet Help

I agree the price seems steep but it helps to understand how that piece must be cut. If you were to buy, it flip it over and check the weave, you will find its cut on a bias from a piece of carpet approx' 3 feet wide and 6 feet long. This is so it will turn corners without puckering. A boomerang is the closest to its actual shape I can think of. anyway... Regardless how many can be cut side by side from a length of carpet, there has to be considerable amount of waste.
